One of my favorite things to do when I have down time is to jump on CS6 and create some gifs or images (see our Spring City post for a dog wearing rabbit ears).

We have a lot of students here at NOVA taking graphic design classes and have major talent, who would benefit from our Digital Media Studio. Book some time and enjoy the following programs:

  • Adobe CS 6
  • Audacity
  • Garage Band
  • Pyro Audio Creator
  • Camtasia
  • Photostory
  • Final Cut Pro
  • iMovie
  • Quicktime Pro
  • Windows Movie Maker
  • Photoshop
  • Gimp

 

Spring City!

spring cityThe weather is nice, the trees and flowers are in bloom and you are almost at the end of the semester! What’s is there not to love about spring time?

Since we are coming upon the end of the semester, we would just like to remind students that the study rooms have been filling up quickly. If you want to reserve a room, you can do so by going to this site: Annandale Group Study and filling out your information. You can book rooms up to two weeks in advance.

Just be sure to read through the rules and have your NOVA ID when you check in at circulation!
